## org.junit.runner
Class Runner

    java.lang.Object
      org.junit.runner.Runner

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Describable

Direct Known Subclasses:
  org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit38ClassRunner, ParentRunner

    public abstract class Runner

extends Object
implements Describable

A `Runner` runs tests and notifies a `RunNotifier` of significant events as it does so. You will need to subclass `Runner` when using `RunWith` to invoke a custom runner. When creating a custom runner, in addition to implementing the abstract methods here you must also provide a constructor that takes as an argument the `Class` containing the tests.

The default runner implementation guarantees that the instances of the test case class will be constructed immediately before running the test and that the runner will retain no reference to the test case instances, generally making them available for garbage collection.
